Metal shows are not a runway. They’re war zones of sound, sweat, and chaos. So why the hell are people showing up in platform boots they can’t walk in, latex outfits turning them into sweat prisons, and—worst of all—sunglasses inside a dark venue? In this episode of The Macabre Coven, Xavi rips apart the absurd trend of “fashion over function” at metal gigs. If your outfit is stopping you from headbanging, moshing, or even just standing your ground, you’re not metal—you’re a liability. Get in the pit, or get the fuck out.
